The menu typically includes a vegetarian and a meat/seafood main dish along with rice and accompaniments (raita or chutney). In addition to cooking these classic recipes, you will also learn about the history, traditions and stories behind these dishes. \n\nAs part of this experience, you will gain valuable tips to set up your own little Indian kitchen and preparing basics such as spice blends, pastes etc to make your life easier when cooking Indian food. We also spend time discussing and going through my spice pantry which will leave you with a greater understanding of the application and benefits of various spices used every day in Indian cooking.\n\nMy classes are hands-on, fun and sociable. We will start the day with a cup of masala chai or lassi while discussing the menu. You will then roll up your sleeves and get stuck in preparing the dishes after which we will sit down together and enjoy the food you’ve cooked, or you can take food home if you prefer.\n\nSAMPLE MENUS:\n\nMENU 1\nMushroom Matar Masala (Mushrooms and peas cooked in an onion tomato sauce)\nPalak Murgh (Spinach chicken) \nJeera Basmati Rice (Basmati rice flavoured with cumin and onions)\nPineapple Mint Raita (Yogurt flavoured with pineapple and mint)\n\nMENU 2 \nKeema Matar (Minced lamb cooked with peas in aromatic spices) \nPunjabi Dal Fry (Classic North Indian lentils) \nJeera Basmati (Basmati rice flavoured with cumin and onions)\nAloo Pyaaz Raita (Yogurt flavoured with boiled potato and red onion)\n\nMENU 3 \nCoriander Chicken Curry (Chicken cooked in a paste of fresh coriander, mint and spices)\nAdraki Aloo Gobi (Cauliflower and potatoes cooked with fresh ginger and turmeric)\nJeera Basmati Rice (Basmati rice flavoured with cumin and onions)\nMixed Vegetable Raita (Yogurt flavoured with finely chopped vegetables)","price":7500,"prevPrice":null,"dates":[{"duration":180,"availability":7,"totalAvailability":8,"notified":false,"cancelled":false,"_id":{"_str":"5c6b2bf8db6cac2eb24ca9d8"},"startDateTime":"2019-03-02T10:00:00.000Z","weekend":true,"timeOfDay":"Daytime","price":7500,"locationId":"5971ea189579aaac5ab9188b","additionalClasses":[],"location":"Wimbledon, SW20 9DW","locationDetails":{"_id":"5971ea189579aaac5ab9188b","schoolId":"5GM8hjxC822MbWaGT","area":"Wimbledon","line1":"93 Grand Drive, Raynes Park","city":"London","postcode":"SW20 9DW","country":"United Kingdom","name":"Meri Rasoi","archived":false,"updatedAt":"2018-08-19T09:46:27.104Z","geolocation":{"lat":51.4039288,"lng":-0.2295404},"region":"South London"}},{"duration":180,"availability":8,"totalAvailability":8,"notified":false,"cancelled":false,"_id":{"_str":"5c6b2bf8db6cac2eb24ca9d7"},"startDateTime":"2019-03-23T10:00:00.000Z","weekend":true,"timeOfDay":"Daytime","price":7500,"locationId":"5971ea189579aaac5ab9188b","additionalClasses":[],"location":"Wimbledon, SW20 9DW","locationDetails":{"_id":"5971ea189579aaac5ab9188b","schoolId":"5GM8hjxC822MbWaGT","area":"Wimbledon","line1":"93 Grand Drive, Raynes Park","city":"London","postcode":"SW20 9DW","country":"United Kingdom","name":"Meri Rasoi","archived":false,"updatedAt":"2018-08-19T09:46:27.104Z","geolocation":{"lat":51.4039288,"lng":-0.2295404},"region":"South London"}}]},"blockBooking":[],"flexitime":{"price":7500,"prevPrice":null,"minGroupSize":4,"maxGroupSize":8,"daysNotice":2,"availableDays":["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Sunday"],"disabledDays":[6],"times":[{"value":660,"label":"11:00 to 14:00"},{"value":690,"label":"11:30 to 14:30"},{"value":720,"label":"12:00 to 15:00"},{"value":750,"label":"12:30 to 15:30"},{"value":780,"label":"13:00 to 16:00"},{"value":810,"label":"13:30 to 16:30"},{"value":840,"label":"14:00 to 17:00"}],"location":{"_id":"5971ea189579aaac5ab9188b","schoolId":"5GM8hjxC822MbWaGT","area":"Wimbledon","line1":"93 Grand Drive, Raynes Park","city":"London","postcode":"SW20 9DW","country":"United Kingdom","name":"Meri Rasoi","archived":false,"updatedAt":"2018-08-19T09:46:27.104Z","geolocation":{"lat":51.4039288,"lng":-0.2295404},"region":"South London"}},"reviews":[{"avatar":"https://graph.facebook.com/v2.11/10158884936100277/picture?type=square&width=150","name":"Kirsti","reviewValue":10,"createdAt":"2017-09-12T00:00:00.000Z","reviewTxt":"The class was a lot of fun and I learned so much!

3 hour class

Daytime

In this class you will learn to make a full Indian meal including four classic Indian recipes from scratch using fresh ingredients.

The dishes taught in these classes vary considering ingredients and food that is generally available and consumed during different times of the year. The menu typically includes a vegetarian and a meat/seafood main dish along with rice and accompaniments (raita or chutney). In addition to cooking these classic recipes, you will also learn about the history, traditions and stories behind these dishes.

As part of this experience, you will gain valuable tips to set up your own little Indian kitchen and preparing basics such as spice blends, pastes etc to make your life easier when cooking Indian food. We also spend time discussing and going through my spice pantry which will leave you with a greater understanding of the application and benefits of various spices used every day in Indian cooking.

My classes are hands-on, fun and sociable. We will start the day with a cup of masala chai or lassi while discussing the menu. You will then roll up your sleeves and get stuck in preparing the dishes after which we will sit down together and enjoy the food you’ve cooked, or you can take food home if you prefer.

Is tailored to beginners which isn't really a negative or a positive but should be made clear

My husband and son went to a Saturday class with Nidhi at Meri Rasoi. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were very pleased with the chicken curry and dhal dishes they cooked. What thrilled my husband the most was learning how to cook rice properly. They have promised to recreate the dishes for me next weekend so I will also get to taste them! Thank you Nidhi, we would recommend this class to anyone who loves cooking.

Nidhi was a fantastic teacher. She welcomed me into her home and brought Indian cooking alive with her passion and knowledge for spices and the food she cooks. The class was incredibly organised and each dish was carefully talked through before I was then able to get suck in. A fabulous class!

This was a really good experience, and Nidhi was charming, knowledgeable and really helpful. Not only did we participate in the preparation and cooking, but we were given some great pro's tips and background history to the various spices and their uses in Indian cooking.Many thanks Nidhi!

Great cooking session, very informative and easy to understand steps in preparing the set menu, plus has given me confidence with spices.

As my boyfriend had got more interested in cooking over the last year I bought us both a place on Nidhi's cookery class. The whole morning was a great experience- from the initial chai tea to sitting down to eat our Indian dishes at the end. Every aspect of the cooking was explained in an interesting way and everyone had the chance to get involved. Thank you Nidhi for hosting us at your home, we would definitely recommend.

Nidhi was very good at explaining everything, we had a great afternoon and the food was delicious. If we get the chance we would do another workshop!

Do you want to get started -- or improve -- your Indian cooking? This is where you begin.
Don't look up dishes on the internet or buy another cookbook. Come to Meri Rasoi.
Nidi's emphasis is on teaching principles and techniques, and after three hours with her you will have laid the foundations to serve delicious and healthy Indian home cooking. This is time and money well spent.

Meri Rasoi is a great cookery school run by the engaging and knowledgeable host, Nidhi.
This was a great opportunity to understand the basics of Indian cooking and the variety of spices used. We learnt how to cook a curry and the best part to taste it afterwards.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Indian cooking. The class will give you the confidence to cook traditional Indian curries at home.
